These photos landed in the inbox just after our post yesterday about this year’s Denver AIA award winners, but they were too good not to pass on. They arrived courtesy of Sexton Lawton Architecture, which received an award of merit for the project.

Stair detail from the Cherry Creek North Medical building

The Cherry Creek North Medical building is an 8,000 square-foot renovation of an existing structure in the shopping district. The main attraction is the facade, which combines the openness of transparent glass with the privacy of translucent glass. It makes the most – and makes sense – of that “split-level” Cherry Creek signature that can sometimes be confusing to folks upon arrival.

But the building’s real strength may be just how well-thought it is – from all sides. The photos tell the story.
